00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:08.520
Oh
, we have a squid.

2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:19.160
Michael says that the common name is the cockatoo squid, which is much easier to say than the genus name...

3
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.600
...
Megalocranchia. I don't know, maybe he's cranky.

4
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:32.160
Pilot, would this be possible for us to slurp?

5
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.680
Watch lead, just to confirm, you want me to attempt to grab this? Yeah, let's go ahead and give it a go. Copy.

6
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:48.720
So, we have a suction sampler, which I like to describe as being an underwater shop vac.

7
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:55.960
But, this allows us to more easily collect these midwater samples.

8
00:00:58.120 --> 00:00:59.120
Okay. We're gonna go for a sample.

9
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.360
Okay. It went in the tube. Sample's in. There is goes.

10
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:09.840
That squid has made it into the suction sampler. Wow. Great job, pilot.

11
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:16.040
This is the first cruise that they've had the suction sampler.

12
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.080
He's so cool.

13
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.520
This is not something that we would be able to sample with our mechanical arm.

14
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:34.040
And we've also used it to sample some bottom samples because it allows them to be preserved in a little more whole state.

15
00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:42.360
Isn't that awesome? Yeah, it is. Oh my gosh. It is so cute. It is so cute. Is that like -- what does it have inside of it? I don't know.
